Maybe National NOG month: Random Tuesday Thoughts

randomtuesday


Oh hey! It's Tuesday! That kinda sneaks up on you, huh?

Anyway, you know what Tuesday means around here - time to get random! Spew some lyrical bullshit, let your mind out to roam, or whatever, then grab the button and call it a post. Easy peasy - especially for those of you struggling with the last few NaBloPoMo posts!

Shall we begin?

My parents finally (hallelujah!) got highspeed internet, which means that my Mom can now read this blog regularly. Because apparently it's too graphic-intense for dial-up? I think binary is probably too graphic intense for dial-up these days, but anyway.

Everybody wave to Mom and hide the dildos, okay?

(Man, it's just like high school all over again.)

I'm having a rum and eggnog. Because I'm fucking festive, y'all. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a bloated eggnog muffin top, y'know?

(It's not even the 'lite' stuff, because that isn't available yet. Apparently it's too early in the season for people to be feeling nog remorse.)

I think I've just created a new activity - the Nog n' Blog. Want to partake? It gets way more fun if you say it out loud a few times.

(Also, if you've had a few nogs.)

Nog nog nog nog nog. Nog nog.

Have you heard about this woman who had her long-term disability benefits revoked, because she was diagnosed with depression but posted photos on Facebook of herself (gasp!) smiling and going on vacation? I mean, how dare she? The NERVE. Everybody knows people with depression wear nothing but black, attend random funerals and listen to The Cure all day. I'm pretty sure psychiatrists have published studies with that exact medical terminology!

Shoes, made out of bread. Most entertaining about this is the comments. Especially the indignation of people pointing out that H.R. Giger did it already in the 70s. Um, I love me some Giger, but someone ripping off a crappy idea means you should probably pity them, not condemn them.

The novel thing? Yeah, not happening. I really did get pretty sick last week and I've been basically sleeping it off ever since. Maybe I'll do DecNoWriMo.

Y'know, because nothing else really happens in December.

Anyway, you got some random smack to talk? Grab the fugly button and link up!

Be sure to have some egg nog for me!

You must have a better relationship with your mother than I have with mine, or else yours isn't as uptight as mine, cuz my mom would have a stroke if she read my blog. I keep mine hidden from her.

I can't believe that poor woman lost her disability for that. That's ridiculous!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Frau said...

Love it nog and blog! Happy Thanksgiving!

Jessica said...

Nog N Blog. I might totally have to try that. Sounds fun.

I gave up on NaNoWriMo, too. Only I don't have the excuse of being sick. I just suck at life. Oh well. I am considering doing my own WriMo once hubby buys me a laptop. Maybe if I can actually get out of the house to write I will accomplish something.

I'll be back to link up later. It's 2am here on the rock in the middle of the Pacific. I need to let me brain wake up a little bit more before I try to blog!

Design it Chic said...

I gave up on NaNoWriMo too.. i had a lot going on and I was really not having time for that this month... maybe next one:P
Oh and I've heard about the "depressed happy woman" in the news... now for sure there's many people deleting their pictures on their accounts:P
Anyway.. wanna hear how i burned my house on Sunday or regular randomness?? I'm all in:)

Happy Tuesday!

Elle said...

Never been a Nog fan so at least not consuming those calories. I like pretty much everything else so it all balances out.

Bread shoes has to be the the most lame-ass idea I've heard so far today.

Really, how dare someone smile for a picture. Clearly she was cured and no longer depressed.

Happy RTT.

kyooty said...

Waving to the Mom with the high speed.
I can't believe about the insurance. Sad !!! but why weren't her pics locked up BTW "friend's only" check your settings people!

Mrsbear said...

Is it ever too early for egg nog?

I actually did find the "reduced fat" kind at our grocery store, which surprisingly enough still has a shit-ton of calories and fat. I'm okay with that.

So you're telling me depressed people don't dress in black and listen to The Cure all day? How about Morrissey?

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

I'd be all over the nog and blog thing. I'm adding eggnog to my last-minute list for today. ;)

Kat said...

Nog and blog! I am laughing so hard I have tears.

Sarah said...

I've always wanted to try egg nog, is it like a liquid tiramisu without the biscuits ?

Sprite's Keeper said...

True confessions:
I have never had egg nog.
I've heard I'm not missing much though..

Web-Betty said...

I hope you are feeling better. :) I've hidden my dildo--Hi mom!

I can't stand eggnog, but I'll join you with a little spiced wine. yummy!

Anjanette said...

Yay! I love festive, but not too into egg nog, is their another festive drink that sounds good?

That poor woman, she was probably finally starting to do the things her therapist suggested.

I don't miss dial up never will, its like albums, my kids "Mom, what's dial up?"

Have a great Tuesday! U Rock as always.

Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommy said...

Yeah, I am not doing NaMoBlowMePoPoWhatever. I just can't commit to anything right now that could threaten to send me over the edge cause I am *right there. You know?

and I HATE eggnog, so I can't nog and blog, but as always I will be wine and whining it baby. SMOOCHES!

Anne said...

I have to agree with Petra, I hate egg nog. I am going to have to pass on nogging and blogging. Can I substitute tequila?

Pseudonymous High School Teacher said...

I'm going to the store this week, getting some eggnog and rum, just so I can nog and blog.

nog nog nog nog

as much fun to write as it was to read.

gretchen said...

Yikes. My biggest fear is that my mother-in-law figures out how to read my blog!

Maybe you should do a Nog-n-Blog Carnival thingy. Could prove very interesting. And possibly embarrassing.

Pollyanna said...

Nog Season - my favorite!

I can't believe how many people Tuesday did not sneak up on this week. I was getting prepared yesterday so I could get over here early and I'm the 27th????? Dude, I got to start getting to work earlier so I can start the blog slacking earlier so I'm not #27.

Otter Thomas said...

Glad you are feeling good enough to hit the nog this week. Nog and blog sounds great in so many ways. Happy Thanksgiving.

DCUrbanDad said...

Nice my parents just got wireless high speed connection. Setting up was a challenge. But apparently it still works.

Ooops is that a dildo I see? Sorry.

Middle Aged Woman said...

nog nog nog nog nog nog nog. It's almost as much fun to type as it is to say!

Mama Badger said...

Oh, man. Do we have to clean it up now? Because your Mom might talk to my mom...

And the nog? I'm all over that. I cracked it open over the weekend. It was a let down- all non-alcoholic, and such- but the spirit was there.

Big Mama Cass said...

I would like to hereby vote far a daily Nog n' Blog. Aaawwwwwsomeness!!

Working Mommy said...

I'm not a fan of eggnog, but will bring my bottle of vodka (and another of rum) to the par-tay!

I should gt my mom to read my blog as well...seems like a good idea...until I blog about her (cringeshuddergasp)...hmm...yeah - that is a stellar idea!

Cricket said...

Egg nog is the best...must try the nog n blog... :)

(It's my first visit, so I wanted to just say a quick "hello!")

Ellie Belen said...

Hello UnMom's Mom.

How nogged to you have to be to nog n blog?

Jennifer said...

Exactly how much rum/nog had you had when before you started writing. LOL Nog makes you funny.

Julie@Momspective said...

Well, at least that will teach all the disabled people everywhere that smiling is not going to be tolerated by the US government.

Ms. Salti said...

I'm ready for Nog 'n' Blog. Where do I sign up? Do I have to do anything besides get drunk and blog? That works for me, and it's super exciting for my readers!

Captain Dumbass said...

Nog and blog... that's something I can get behind. Or under.

~Billie~ said...

Love the nog and blog! I'm not a fan of egnog. I'll take the rum, though!

K said...

Loving the Nog and Blog idea.

And I'm sure the novel thing will happen, whenever it's meant to. I'd rather write than hang out with my inlaws so maybe I'll steal the dec. idea.

Chantel said...

Happy RTT. :)

You add RUM to your Egg Nog? No wonder if I never liked it. I've been doing it wrong all these years.

Margaret aka: Fact Woman said...

OMGosh. I snorted my nog all over my screen. This was so funny. Thanks for the good laugh. Nog remorse. LOL

Shandal said...

This is my first time using your Random Tuesday Thoughts on my blog! Thanks for sharing the fun!

shopannies said...

must be so super great for your inlaws to have internet now and be able to keep up to date with you

Storm, The Psychotic Housewife said...

I discovered my mother is reading my blog now too - censor, anyone? I guess there goes the sex toy reviews...

Wait... I wear black and listen to the Cure all day - I thought that just made you psychotic, not depressed. Forget the funerals though. LOL Now that I think of it... I've only ever been to one funeral. In my family, if you're dead, you're dead, who cares. let's get on with it. (Is that bad or what?)

I am Harriet said...

I know people who still only have dial up available. Yikes.

N-i-c-o-l-e said...

Nog and Blog is awesome!!!!!

Cole said...

My mom read my blog once and got all worked up because I said she was crazy...but I said it in a nice way...Anyhoo, great randomness as usual :)

rachel said...

I love Random Tuesday!!!

Lisa (aka LadyWanderlust) said...

My mom is no longer to read my blog! She just does not get it....as in she doesn't understand the concept and she literally does not get it because she REFUSES to get on the Internet. She is scared the minutes she logs on she will have her identity stolen, will be harmed by a pedophile, and will find her very own personal stalker. So, kudos to your mom. :)

Enjoy your eggnog. I hate the stuff but if it gives you the Festive Feeling...go for it! :)

Cheers, Lisa

FoN said...

You'll drink egg nog but think clam is gross? What is wrong with you, woman?!

only a movie said...

Nog blog...? Too funny.
Hope you're feeling a little bit better.

Jenni said...

Holy shit those comments on the bread shoes were AMAZING. "They'll go great with my ham socks." That shit kills me.

otin said...

Hi Keely's Mom!!!
I am sorry that Keely said "fuck and "Dildo"!

You should kick her in the ass with one of those bread shoes! lol!

Frogs in my formula said...

Shoot, if I wanna do nog and blog do I still have to hide my dildo??

BassAckwards Mom said...

blognog...sweet. I'm in.

Wild Child said...

Okay, and someone tell my mom that high speed internet is fine! She is on dial-up and hopes that I don't go for ads, because then my blog loading would be sllloooooowwwwwww. Not that I would do ads, I have like 5 faithful readers and the rest stopped by to pity my blog and be pity followers.

Nog-n-Blog, could that be a December blog meme? Saturday nights? I tried to be So Random in my blog today.

Ane Fallarme said...

Hi Keely's mom and dad! :D

I've never had an eggnog... :D

Who'd wear shoes made out of bread? Oh I know! Hansel and Gretel, then they wouldn't have to eat parts of the witch's house! :D LOL

Happy Tuesday Keely, Wednesday from my part of the world! :D

Stacy said...

You have to be so careful about Facebook! There was a guy who got cleared of a crime because he made a status update during the time of a robbery.

ArtSnark said...

Oooh - is it that Noggy time-o-year already? I like mine with whiskey

Course I like just about anything with whiskey.

Those bread shoes are everywhere lately. We should all make a pair! It would be so PC - Feed the birds & support your local bakery

Blogging Mama Andrea said...

Oh yes, mothers and blogs. I have mine linked on my siggy in my email. My mom made the comment the other day that she couldn't find my blog again (I erase it when I email her for LOTS of reasons).

So, Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus and Yes mom, I don't want you on my blog.

Seems fair right?

Happy RTT (on Wednesday)

Casey said...

Yeah, dunno what you were thinking trying to write a novel in the first place, you loon.

You're brave to let your mom read your blog. Mine doesn't even know I have one.
